A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.

The woman below replied, You’re in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You’re between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.

You must be a programmer, said the balloonist.

I am, replied the woman, How did you know?

Well, answered the balloonist, everything you told me is technically correct, but I’ve no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help at all. If anything, you’ve delayed my trip.

The woman below responded, You must be in Management.

I am, replied the balloonist, but how did you know?

Well, said the woman, you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you’ve no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it’s my fault.

First 3 evenings spent doing a video promo for a trekking walk happening on the 27th April. Decided to just use Windows Movie Maker due to its simplicity and ease of use. Kudos to Microsoft for having a simple video editor. Yes you cant make that many tweaks but it’s simple and functional to most degrees. Insert in those days preparing to lead CG (that happened last night) for the first time (well maybe second time) and I come back to say I have a lot to learn. There was also brochure design for Run for the World. Spent last night and this morning playing around with J2ME and realizing I have a long way to go if I want to make nice apps. Today spent doing some tutorials on how to use properly use the setup at church. I know I think to much leading me to not want to commit putting it down on paper (or more appropriately, screen) and after doing those tutorials had some drama practice. Ended up playing Call of Duty 4 post dinner for an hour. Let me say I prefer simple (i.e. no-brainer) games like CS and Quake 3 but I think that was the first dose of playing a game I’ve had for a long time. But anyhow I’m tired and drained out. There is much to be done and many aspirations to reach for. Camp coming around the corner in just over 2 months and I have to ‘finish’ up the booklets and souvenirs ASAP. Feeling a discontentment and disconnect with life. It’s times like these that help build character. I just pray that I will have the strength and support through Christ who strengthens me.

Romans 5:3-5
³Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us
